PUB queues could be washed away thanks to a new device which can serve pints in just five seconds.

New technology will enable bar staff to pour 10 pints in less then a minute, meaning an end to the foot-tapping wait drinkers normally endure for their favoured tipple.

The Publican newspaper said that Coors Brewers had teamed up with dispense specialists IMI Cornelius to trial the new system in outlets for their popular Carling lager.

Pubs and bars where speed of service is crucial are likely to benefit from the device.

The new system serves the liquid at 2 degrees Celsius and can pour lager in half-pints, pints and four-pint jugs.

A spokeswoman for Coors said, "From the introduction of Caffrey's up to Carling Extra Cold, Coors Brewers leads dispense innovation in the UK.

"We are carrying out preliminary trade trials with a fast dispensing system. However until the results of these trials have been evaluated, there is no further information."

It is believed that if the trial is successful, the new system will be introduced across the company's range of Carling- sponsored music venues as well as high street locations.

Rob Hayward of the British Beer and Pub Association, said, "It is an innovation which customers will welcome. They expect good and quick service. This development will hopefully contribute towards that."
